Ahaan Panday Mimics Ranbir Kapoor In Viral Video; Fans Dub Him 'Bollywood's Next Superstar'
Ahaan Panday is enjoying a dream start in Bollywood with his debut film Saiyaara turning out to be a blockbuster. The Mohit Suri directorial, co-starring Aneet Padda, has already smashed several box office records within days of its release. As the spotlight firmly rests on the industry's newest heartthrob, fans are drawing comparisons between Ahaan and Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor.
Interestingly, this comparison isn't entirely new. Before stepping into films, Ahaan Panday had gained popularity on Dubsmash, where he recreated famous Bollywood scenes. Some of his most viral clips were inspired by Ranbir Kapoor's films. From mouthing the lyrics of Channa Mereya to dancing on Bachna Ae Haseeno and Dilliwaali Girlfriend, Ahaan seemed to be an unabashed Ranbir fan in those early videos.
One clip even sees him performing the intense dialogue from Rockstar, and fans are now sharing these snippets on social media with the caption 'Ranbir 2.0". In fact, many netizens are convinced that Ahaan's screen presence and charm mirror a young Ranbir Kapoor. One user wrote, 'He's got the Ranbir vibe. Raw, emotional, effortless."

Another video that's gone viral again is Ahaan lip-syncing Shah Rukh Khan's iconic monologue from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While some fans praised his performance, the clip had earlier been trolled when it surfaced two years ago on Reddit. However, the conversation around it has now shifted, with many admiring how far he has come from social media skits to big-screen success.
In 2025, after three years of preparation and training under the Yash Raj Films banner, Ahaan finally made his acting debut. Saiyaara, produced by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri, has been met with immense love from the audience. The music, especially the title track, has contributed significantly to the film's appeal.
As old videos of Ahaan flood social media once more, fans seem to agree on one thing, Bollywood has found its next big romantic hero.

Travis Kelce Thinks Ryan Reynolds Is ‘More Hollywood Than Human'
Travis Kelce and Ryan Reynolds met on multiple occasions, including a show during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. Travis Kelce is deeply in love with Taylor Swift, and it needs no proof. The couple, who started dating in 2023, has made multiple love-filled public appearances together, and sometimes with each other's friends as well. Hence, they were also seen with the couple, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, with whom the pop star had been close. Despite making amicable appearances with the duo, there are now reports which suggest that the NFL star did not get along with the couple. According to sources close to Travis, the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end failed to develop a bond with Blake and Ryan despite going on double dates with them. He 'never really clicked" with the Deadpool actor because of their varying world view. An insider told the celebrity columnist Rob Shuter that Travis 'always thought Ryan was more Hollywood than human." While the NFL star thinks that the actor is funny, he never considered him as someone who was 'real". Travis Kelce Couldn't Gel With Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Due To His 'No Frills' Life Ever since Travis started dating Taylor, he has crossed paths with the Green Lantern actor on multiple occasions, including the Eras Tour, but their inner circle have reportedly noticed that the athlete always kept 'his distance." He couldn't gel well with the Hollywood couple's 'curated celebrity world" because of his 'grounded, midwest and no-frills" background. Taylor Swift's Fallout With Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Taylor had been friends with Blake for years. But they had a fallout after the pop star's name appeared in the legal feud between the It Ends With Us co-stars, Blake and Justin Baldoni. In her complaint, the Gossip Girl actress accused the director of sexually harassing her in December last year. In response, Justin filed a $400 million countersuit against the couple for defamation, extortion, and invasion of privacy. While Blake's team tried to remove Taylor's name from the legal documents, it was not approved by the actor-director's team. Later, the Cruel Summer singer's subpoena was cancelled after Justin's lawyer confirmed that they had all the information that they needed. Following Taylor's fallout with Blake and Ryan, Travis even unfollowed Ryan from his official Instagram account. Now, Justin's countersuit has been dismissed, while Blake's case is set to go on trial in 2026. First Published: July 31, 2025, 14:07 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
